Introduction

NPort® 5600-8-DT device servers can conveniently and transparently connect 8 serial devices to an Ethernet, allowing you to network your existing serial devices with only basic configuration. You can both centralize management of your serial devices and distribute management hosts over the network. Since the NPort® 5600-8-DT device servers have a smaller form factor compared to our 19" models, they are a great choice for applications that need additional serial ports, but for which mounting rails are not available.
